Yeah you right the remote in the picture is a gen1 remote, I gave instructions on adding livingcolors here :

> I was unable to add it directly via Zigbee, but they work perfectly through Hue hub (gen2 - with gen 1 remotes). Figuring out how to get them added to the Hue Hub however was a time consuming task, but pretty easy once figured out. Download the app called iConnectHue and pay the $4 (or what ever it was) Click add lights (with torchlight) PROFIT! I know this isn’t what you asked for, however it might help others who do have a Hub and Living Colours.

When you say ‘cant get it to connect’, do you mean you cant get the remote to connect as a generic zigbee device to homey?
